Turn next generation Wii controller to feature 6.2-inch display, DS giant living room?

By Thomas Ricker posted Apr 22 2011 5: 47 AM E3 is closer, only two months away now. As such, the next-gen Wii console have heated rumors to a boil. One of the most interesting bits of gossip is from Kotaku. The gaming site sources claim that the new 8-button controller is has a whopping 6.2 inch, two analog sticks and a camera (with impressive specificity) of a screen print. The new Wii, the console (also called the 2 Wii, Wii HD, or simply "project Café") the new controller in addition to the Wii remote-style controller for the backward compatibility with existing Wii games-is supported at the moment, is not clear if the support for existing Wiimotes implies. But why do I see the giant? Here is the Kotaku take:

of the 6.2-inch screen data received wirelessly from the Nintendo console and provides an array of options: from the implementation of the player's inventory or map on the screen, controller, to the players it with the controller camera to snap photos combine, which could be imported into a game or even turn it into some kind of glorified viewfinder (we are unclear about whether showing the camera on the controller on the player or can be outside; we have heard both - maybe it is?).

In other words, you can you think of the new controller plus console combination as a modern Dreamcast system or "glorified mega-DS" like Kotaku, where is the TV says the top of the screen and the bottom touch screen is the handheld controller. If true we will hear then probably the first official word on E3 the kicks off on 7 June.

Update: IGN has its own set of "Sources" much of this information confirmed. This is a rumour Nintendo might, which, once pans? We should know in a little more than a month.
